Construction Allseeds Black Sea LLC

As part of the cooperation with Allseeds Black Sea LLC, Grain Capital specialists carried out a comprehensive range of works to equip and develop the conveying and process infrastructure of the oil extraction plant and grain complex.

The project included automation of technological processes, manufacturing and installation of conveying and aspiration equipment, implementation of new process lines, as well as electrical works.

Process automation

The project was developed, followed by installation and commissioning of a remote automatic control system for:

• the seed elevator;
• the non-granulated husk handling section;
• the granulated husk and meal elevator.

The system was built using distributed I/O technology based on SIEMENS equipment, providing centralized control and monitoring of technological processes.

Conveying equipment

Conveying equipment for handling seeds and processed products was manufactured for the plant's process lines:

• chain conveyors ZEO-DC, including ZEO-DC-300;
• ZEO-BE bucket elevators;
• horizontal and horizontal-inclined chain conveyors;
• silo sweep augers.

The conveying equipment for seeds has a capacity of up to 200 t/h, with a chain speed of 0.4–0.6 m/s for the chain conveyors.

As part of the second construction phase, the third start-up complex of the oil extraction plant was equipped with conveying and process lines based on ZEO-DC chain conveyors and ZEO-BE bucket elevators.

Conveying and process lines were also implemented for the new warehouse complex and the grain storage and conveying unit.

Aspiration and dedusting

As-built documentation was developed for the dedusting of process areas, and an aspiration system was implemented using ZEO-FC and ZEO-B4 series equipment.

The scope of work included:

• development of technical solutions for dedusting conveying and cleaning equipment;
• manufacturing of aspiration equipment;
• equipping the truck unloading station with aspiration systems;
• aspiration of cleaning equipment;
• installation and commissioning of aspiration units.

Installation and electrical works

As part of the development of the plant's production and storage infrastructure, the following works were completed:

• implementation of a new grain storage and conveying unit;
• installation of conveying equipment;
• implementation of conveying and process lines for the new warehouse complex;
• equipping the second phase of the oil extraction plant with conveying and process equipment;
• installation of aspiration systems;
• electrical connection of the new grain storage and conveying unit;
• connection of additional conveying equipment for the flat storage warehouse.

Result

As part of the cooperation with Allseeds Black Sea LLC, a comprehensive set of interconnected engineering solutions was implemented for conveying grain and processed products, aspiration of process areas, and automated control of production processes.

The implemented technological infrastructure provides:

• conveying of seeds, meal and husks between the main process areas;
• seed conveying capacity of up to 200 t/h;
• integration of the new warehouse complex and storage unit into the plant's overall process flow;
• automated control of the seed elevator and processed product conveying sections;
• efficient dedusting of key technological units;
• comprehensive technological and electrical equipping of new production facilities.

The project integrated conveying equipment, aspiration, automation and electrical solutions into a single technological system adapted to the production capacities of the oil extraction complex.
